Mr. Chairman, the discussion on how we move ahead on community transfers can be brought up in this Legislative Assembly at any time; and as we are moving along, some areas in the report that evidently cannot be implemented will be falling off very quickly. We are setting up a community transfer committee which will be under the direction of Minister Kakfwi, and a process is going to be set up so that everyone knows here the general principles of how we are going to get these discussions going. So we can try to work in a mechanism where the MLAs would be involved.

This has not been written down, but what I had thought was that, particularly when a community came forward and wanted to take over a program or a menu of responsibilities, the MLA that is representing that community should be involved on a continuing basis on that takeover. That falls out right away, and we have not put out our communication package so we do not really know how many people are interested, but we know that some communities will not be interested at all, and some might have more interest than the other.

But certainly in terms of the MLAs, I did anticipate that if there was something happening within their constituency that they would be involved as well as, for example, the mayor. We can try to build up a more immediate input from MLAs on the issues of community transfers. So I will try to work that. We have not finished the mechanism of how we are going to do it. We have just announced it, and we have done some work on it. There is a committee to deal with that, and we certainly can work in more involvement if that is desired. We are open to suggestions on how you feel you want to track that on a day-to-day basis. I realize maybe some of the concerns might be that during the time that we are not meeting as a Legislative Assembly, where questions can be brought forward, that there will be things happening that may not allow you to be involved. So we can set up a mechanism to do that with more involvement, and we are certainly open to suggestions on that.
